Build your brief
Prepare the enquiry without guessing a total
Start with five practical details about the property.
The page creates a private planning note only. It does not transmit data, calculate a quote or reserve a cleaning slot.
The planner cannot assess a finish or access route; these details still need review before the quotation.

Upstairs works need a stair-by-stair route
Decoration and replacement flooring upstairs can leave deposits along the route used by trades.
This Surbiton planning example centres on upstairs decorating and floor replacement. Decoration and replacement flooring upstairs can leave deposits along the route used by trades. The useful inspection route follows the upper rooms and staircase, with attention to coated woodwork and stair-side ledges.
Check the care requirements for each newly coated surface. Keep any care notes for freshly coated woodwork available when discussing the visible marks.
Keep the carrying route on stairs clear of tools and household storage. Include the landing in the review before returning belongings upstairs.
Room-by-room brief
Make the room list useful for a quotation
Bathroom
List the sanitary areas being included and mention installation marks before expecting treatment.
Bedrooms
Include the exposed surfaces affected by renovation, with any separate storage detail identified.
Living areas
Living-room fittings and perimeter detail may need attention without implying treatment of the furnishings.
Planning beyond the trades
Keep the finishing stage in order
Work completed
Identify rooms released after the last dusty task.
Detailed clean
Carry out the planned finishing detail.
Final review
Check the work before the rooms are rearranged.
Arrange the next activity
Use the review to inform the handover.
These images explain stages; they do not show one verified customer project or promise an identical outcome.
A scoped quote
Quote the finishing detail, not just the floor area
From £29/ hour
The guide includes the cleaning equipment and materials, with rate and scope reconfirmed before proceeding.
A lightly decorated room and a fitted kitchen need different work. Extra glazing or residue treatment is not automatically covered.
| Project | Pricing basis | What to describe |
|---|---|---|
| Smaller refurbishment | From £29/hour; scope confirmed | Decorated areas and remaining deposits |
| Kitchen or bathroom work | From £29/hour; scope confirmed | Care notes for recently fitted items |
| Whole-property renovation | Individual quotation for the renovation | Released spaces and connecting routes |
| Commercial refurbishment enquiry | Discuss premises before a quote | Site requirements and the enquiry contact |
Based on Alesta’s published after builders cleaning rate. Building waste removal is quoted separately.
Start with the work
Choose the nearest project type
A project category helps organise the next conversation. It is not an acceptance of site requirements or a fixed inclusion list.
Full renovation
Explain how the completed rooms connect, particularly where equipment crossed areas that were not themselves renovated.
Beyond the work zone
Follow deposits rather than room labels
Do not let the room name decide the dust boundary.
Protected furniture does not mean every nearby surface stayed untouched. Examine exposed ledges and passages before ruling a room out.
Identify the affected surfaces for Alesta. Appropriate vacuuming, microfibre materials and products are selected around their condition and material.
The final clean should follow dust-producing work, with any remaining attendance explained in advance.
The dust route
A room list needs the spaces between rooms
Use the illustration to organise questions, not as an inclusive service checklist.
Ledges & surfaces
Include the exposed tops and lips you want considered in the surface list.
Frames & edges
Explain which corners can be reached without moving stored belongings.
Fittings & fixtures
A bathroom fitting needs a different surface description from a painted radiator.
Floors & adjoining rooms
Explain how dust reached neighbouring rooms; suitable floor care follows the material underneath.
Different issues / different scope
Five issues that need different descriptions
| Post-build issue | Example | How it is approached |
|---|---|---|
| Fine dust | Deposits on reachable ledges and external faces | Identify the material before selecting suitable cleaning. |
| Loose cleaning remnants | Unbonded residue in accessible cleaning areas | This is considered within the defined room scope. |
| Adhesive or labels | Sticky residue beside fitted hardware | Installer information may be needed before treatment is agreed. |
| Paint, plaster or cement spots | Hardened material at an installation edge | Assess first; complete removal may damage the finish. |
| Protective film | A manufacturer’s film on new cabinetry | Do not remove by assumption; agree the responsibility. |
Two separate jobs
A finished room is not a waste-loading area
Fine dust and reachable edges
A practical cleaning scope describes what can be reached and treated, not what must be carried away.
Boards, rubble and packaging
Timber offcuts and building materials are different from dust. Ask about a separate clearance scope.
Discuss building waste disposal ↗Different project briefs
Surbiton: choose the relevant project detail
Rooms released in an apartment
A flat’s room count does not show the detail around its fitted surfaces.
A refitted kitchen
List new fittings alongside their care notes, not under one generic surface label.
A renovated bathroom
Check the readiness of sealants before discussing tiles and sanitaryware detail.
Several rooms completed together
Describe the whole property in manageable surface and access groups.
Cleaning after rental improvements
Keep agent requirements separate from the renovation-cleaning scope for review.
An office project discussion
Provide the fit-out details without treating this page as a commercial contract offer.
A useful distinction
Check the handover between trades and cleaners
Builder stage
Close the dusty work
- Make the dust-producing timetable clear before booking.
- Remove equipment before treating the space as released.
- Confirm product-specific drying rather than guessing from appearance.
Cleaning stage
Make the cleaning route usable
- Confirm the route into each area being quoted.
- Separate fitting marks from ordinary surface dust.
- Keep unresolved surface issues distinct from cleaning tasks.
Protect the new finish
Separate dirt from a damaged finish
Illustrative surface review.
Manufacturer guidance matters more than a finish looking dry.
Different finishes can meet at one fitting. Explain both materials where treatment of a deposit might touch either surface.
Paint & sealants
Wet or uncured finishes need time under the relevant manufacturer guidance.
Stone, timber & tiles
Flag transitions between finishes before suitable floor care is agreed.
Metal, glass & cabinetry
Record installation marks on new fittings before discussing their removal.
At a glance
Ten decisions before the visit
- What rate is published for the service?
- The hourly starting guide is £29. Confirm the current rate after explaining the property condition and expected cleaning scope.
- What detail should the room list cover?
- Describe dust on reachable surfaces and room fittings. Kitchen, bathroom and floor tasks are agreed against their condition.
- When is a useful point to arrange the clean?
- Wait for dusty activities to end and the rooms to be released. Follow the new products’ instructions on cleaning readiness.
- Is cement residue part of ordinary cleaning?
- Loose dust and bonded residue are different. Describe the mark before assuming it fits the standard scope.
- Does the visit include rubble clearance?
- The room-cleaning request and a waste-collection request are distinct, even when both follow the same renovation.
- What should a kitchen handover brief say?
- The kitchen brief should distinguish settled dust from fitting residue and note care instructions for new materials.
- Does a small paint project count?
- Decoration can leave a finishing task of its own. Explain the affected detail and make sure the coating permits cleaning.
- Can the duration be fixed in advance from room numbers?
- Detailed edges or difficult access can matter as much as floor area, so duration needs a scope review.
- Can glazing be added to the request?
- Make an explicit glazing request, with the relevant access and deposit information. Availability and safe treatment remain to be confirmed.
- Can tools remain in the cleaning area?
- Remove tools and loose building materials from the agreed route, and arrange a separate discussion for bulky waste.
Who is planning the handover?
Choose the person who can agree the room priorities
Homeowners
List the rooms being returned to use and who can explain the newly installed surfaces.
Landlords & property managers
Pass on access instructions and the renovation brief, with any additional property-management requirements clearly labelled.
Builders & contractors
Commercial or contractor requirements should be confirmed directly, rather than inferred from residential examples.
Glass after renovation
Do not turn glazing into an assumed extra
Tell Alesta where the glass is and how it can be reached; additional window work requires confirmation.
Explain any plaster or paint spots so the scope reflects their condition, not just the glass area.
Plan separate window cleaning ↗Service-area planning

Questions about planning the Surbiton clean
What should my Surbiton renovation enquiry include?
Use the renovation as the starting point, then describe the detail it left behind. A room name alone does not explain whether the work affected exposed ledges, fittings or nearby circulation. Decoration and replacement flooring upstairs can leave deposits along the route used by trades.
How can I make the cleaning route clear?
Include the part of the journey between the entrance and the work area. Internal obstacles can matter even in an otherwise empty property. Keep the carrying route on stairs clear of tools and household storage.
What if I do not know the coating on a new surface?
New coatings need informed handling. Identify the material and residue separately so the treatment discussion remains realistic. Check the care requirements for each newly coated surface.
How do I decide where the cleaning boundary ends?
Name additional affected areas at enquiry stage. A room kept closed during work is not proof that every surface stayed clear. Here, inspect the upper rooms and staircase.
Are cleaning materials included in the starting guide?
The published guide begins at £29/hour, with cleaning equipment and materials included. The figure is not a total for the property: condition, access and required detail still need review.
How should a staged renovation be planned?
If installation is continuing, explain the remaining tasks and locations. The visit should not be planned as though all dusty work has stopped.
Does cleaning include leftover materials?
Building materials are a separate service question. Explain whether timber, rubble or boards remain before assuming the room is accessible for its finishing clean.
How should extra glass or carpet work be requested?
Glazing and carpet requirements should be listed separately. The cleaning quote cannot include unspecified treatment or access arrangements.
Should furniture delivery wait for the room review?
There is no standard duration for every property. Give the intended next use and the actual condition; drying instructions for finishes remain separate from the cleaning timetable. Include the landing in the review before returning belongings upstairs.
Does the clean repair a damaged finish?
Some residue cannot be removed safely through the agreed clean. Ask whether installer guidance or a separately assessed specialist treatment is appropriate; cleaning does not restore damaged coatings.
Your project / the final clean
Discuss the upper rooms and staircase
Bring the work history and material notes rather than an assumed package. Confirm the tasks and arrangements before proceeding.
